It is indeed fella, if theres a pair of speakers around 90db it should be fine!

Sounds good

I'll bring the Tannoys then, as they're really sensitive.

Cabs are awful though.

I might be interested in this, I am in Sheffield as well (Simon, I bought some cheap drivers off you a couple of months back if you remember, I keep meaning to email you back but haven't got round to it yet). I don't post on here much at all but do on PFM.

Power amps and turntables are what I have been spending most of my time on building so far. I have 2 x Avondale NCC200 DIY dual mono power amps (these drive my KEF reference 2's at home, bi-amped), one NCC200 ebay clone in a Cryus shoebox with a 500VA transformer (which was a bit of a squeeze), and am currently knee-deep in building my 2nd re-plinthed Lenco L75 (with a choice of Rega RB250, Hadcock GH228 or Pro-ject carbon fibre arms). Next on the list is a Pass Labs B1 pre-amp.

df-genius - tip for you - build the dcb1 rather than the b1.....

Fran (also a pfm-er)

df_genius,

Good to see you on here! Yeh, hit me back on the e-mails, didn't know you were on the forum

Pass B1 should be good, it's said by Pedja Rogic to be a copy of his buffer stage, which is very good sounding indeed! I'd love to do a full Pass power amp, they're wonderful things.

Simon

I recently bought some 1970s 6x9"s, which sound quite nice when used OB. They need eq in the bass though. I can bring them, if you like.

Sounds good, always nice to hear new things :-)
